Summary: Best of Keanu Reeves
Review: This movie kept you on your toes, the special effects in this movie were out of this world. I have to say that this is the best movie of Keanu Reeves career

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice, a Trilogy!
Review: This movie kicked total butt!!! the visual effects were astounding! bullet time was incredible, and they didn't over use it like they could have. The plot line was so unique, that it was hard for me to grasp at first though. After you got it though, it made perfect sense. It has been a while since there has been a female equal to a male main character, Trinity puts any other chick to shame.
This movie amazes me every time I watch it. I am not surprised at all that this became an instant classic movie.

I am extemely excited for the second and third movies. The producers promise us a look at Zion, a 14 minute helicopter chase scene, and new special effects that needed to be invented for the movies. Sounds exciting eh?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nothing short of SHOCKING!!
Review: This movie leaves that feeling in your stomach that you've been looking for this decade at the box office. It is a must see for sci-fi, philosophy, special effects fans and many more. The twist in this story-line is chilling to say the least. I wish I could see it again for the first time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This was a very good movie
Review: This movie left me with a lot of GOOD comments to say but I will only use a few of them since I can only use 1000 words. First of all and I think you can all agree with me that the special effects are incredible. I have never seen anything like it before. Next the storyline leaves you speechless because even though you have seen it 100 times you still can't quite explain what the movie means to everyone but yet it is quite simple if you really sit down and think about it. So here it is "The matrix is a world of everything and anything combined. We right now are not seeing the whole truth but yet we are seeing only what the computers want us to see. We are really sitting inside a tube filled with goo. When we are born we have a choice to take a blue pill (means we can stay where we are) or we can take a red pill (Go into the matrix). So right now as you are all reading this you are all sitting down and wondering what matrix really is. Well why wouldn't you know since you have been living in it for your whole entire life" Pretty freaky isn't it. SWEET DREAMS

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Existential Sci-Fi Meets Hong Kong Action
Review: This movie makes you question your own reality and truly engages the imagination. The special effects are unbelievable, and the fight scenes must be seen to be believed. The DVD has amazing quality sound, but the video seems a little grainy and muddy in some of the indoor scenes. It still looks really good though, and no DVD collection should be without this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Extraordinary on DVD!
Review: This movie may have one of the most complicated plots there ever was, but it looks amazing on DVD! It is a must have for every DVD player. The graphics and the breathtaking special effects look great! Personally, I didn't understand the story very much until my aunt explained it to me. Anyway, it is a great DVD experience to have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Something for everyone
Review: This movie might be my favorite of all time. SFX, spiritual biblical parallels, Sci-fi, Action, love. I have not met anyone who has not thought it was outstanding.

Spiritual parallels=

The Matrix= The world and it's slavery to sin Morpheus= John the baptist Neo (the one)= The one messiah (The Lord Jesus Christ) Zion= The body of Christ? Isreal? Heaven?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: See It Twice
Review: This movie must be seen twice in order to be fully appreciated. The first viewing should be spent enjoying it for its eye-popping special effects, for its outrageous action, for its killer industrial soundtrack, and for the pleasure of watching Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss run around looking fabulous.

The second viewing should be spent contemplating the questions The Matrix raises about our perception of reality. It's hard to believe that such a slick, glossy production starring Keanu Reeves conveys such deep, mind-boggling concepts, but it does.

The directing Wachowski brothers (the guys responsible for the wonderfully outrageous Bound), have been influenced heavily by other filmmakers, authors and artists, and they don't try to hide it in the least. However, rather than a blatant rip-off, this plays more like a reverent homage.

Laurence Fishburne projects a powerful presence as the wise Morpheus, although it often seems that he employed William Shatner as his dialogue coach. Keanu Reeves is in his element. The Matrix maximizes his strengths (his ability to look completely dumbfounded and his unique physicality) and minimizes his weaknesses (just about everything else). The role of Neo is tailor-made for him. The real standout in the cast, however, is Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. She is a real find, and while she is stunning in a shiny black cat suit, her purpose in this film is not simply ornamental. She is responsible for at least half of this movie's excitement, and she gives it its emotional heart.

The Matrix is two movies in one. One is a truly awesome action movie, and the other is a deep meditation on the nature of reality. It can be enjoyed equally on both levels, but maybe not on first viewing. See it at least twice.

Stay tuned after the credits for 4 behind-the-scenes vignettes, one of which shows Reeves, in full wicked-bad regalia, perform a hilarious, unintentional pratfall.

Rating: 5 stars
